2019. So many things are bound to happen this new year. I’m about to undergo my final semester of college, which involves student teaching, so I’m incredibly nervous and excited for that. I’ll be graduating college in May and, God willing, I’ll have landed an official teaching position at a good school for the fall. There’s also a lot of plans to be made for my boyfriend and I with our relationship, with both of us finishing school and considering an engagement soon. So safe to say this year is going to be filled with immense change and adjustment. And I’m excited and terrified all at once.
So much is up in the air, so many things are going to be falling together. But I do know, even if the world shifts and things have to crash and collide before they finally settle, all will be well in the end. One thing God placed strong in my heart recently is this: no matter what hurt and uncertainty and setbacks I may face this upcoming year and all the years to follow, this life is not our final destination. It was a reminder I didn’t even know I needed but one that’s rooted itself in my heart. Yes, I’m going to try to do my very best in this life, building myself up to become a wonderful teacher and wife and mother and Christian. But even if all my dreams were to crumble, if all my careful plans become frayed, it is not the end. Life is not about me anyway. I’m but a vessel meant to fulfill the will God has laid out for me. In the end, I’ll still have Jesus, and that’s what truly matters. And I know there’s an even greater promise awaiting us once this life ceases to exist, so whatever happens, I want to be able to look to the future and smile.
